this is. libya's interim government is expected to announce the symbolic liberation of the country following the death of colonel gadhafi on thursday nato says it will wind down its military intervention in libya by the end of the month after an alliance airstrike stopped a convoy carrying the colonel in the city of sirte allowing him to be captured alive but the unclear circumstances of how gadhafi ended up dead shortly after has sparked international calls for an investigation with some reports suggesting he was executed in cold blood ati's an isa now he has the latest from the libyan capital. the n.t.s.b. is saying that gadhafi was killed by bullet wounds also conflicting reports as to where exactly those shots were in his stomach in the right side of his head and the left side of his head it's looking very shady and then this brutal video that went viral the mainstream media showing it more than twenty four hours constantly of gadhafi whether or not he was dead or alive very unclear at first in the first couple of shots that he did in fears that he's alive he actually goes and touch the
1:02 pm
head wipe some blood away and then there's a time and it seems that it was clear what we did in those later pictures the same thing with one of his songs that was captured in syria first pictures of him standing against a wall smoking a cigarette very clearly alive then the video cards and all of a sudden he's dead so really pressure coming from around the world both from the west and other countries that have been very critical about nato mission here in libya that something needs to be done about an investigation the u.n. is planning on launching an investigation and russia's foreign minister was very clear that russia and many of many countries and officials around the world feel like the way he was killed in these pictures that we saw were perhaps not the best possible way to go but at the time when it's the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and after that he was killed later there were reports that a convoy carrying the convoy was attacked by nato planes and after that the rebels captured members of that convoy it has been repeated numerous times that nato
1:03 pm
planes are only have a u.n. mandate to ensure a no fly zone over libya and the convoy wasn't posing any threat to civilians on the ground and could be a legitimate target. actions pose a number of questions as well. speaking of that no fly zone which is of course how this mission began back in march the u.n. looking into when it will officially and now russia pushing for that mission to end the soonest possible the date when you know it is october thirty first but it has to be said of fischer the nato mission. he's very much alive here in libya gadhafi is body is in a walk in refrigerator now in misrata and already way beyond the twenty four hour mark to have who had been buried by muslim tradition the official liberation ceremony will take place in benghazi we're hearing it will take place there about of course was the original rebel stronghold where their whole fight for freedom began it will take place there instead of the capital because the security situation here is still very tense just a couple of days ago there was
1:04 pm
a shootout between m.t.c. troops and the downfield oil with the low mostly celebrations have been taking place obviously officials the interim officials are worried that there could be some kind of violence here in the capital very few people obviously were on the streets last night asking what's next for they be and they couldn't answer that question my god so world analysts are certainly looking into what will happen will be chaos here one of the main fears is that libya could break out into some kind of tribal war that there's going to be this hour the world community has begun to think what will we see happen here in the upcoming months and years. and he said reporting from tripoli there and she's keeping us updated on the developments in libya online as well we have to do is just head to twitter stream to get the latest from does the international community tries to get to the bottom of gadhafi is definitely video could very well provide the everyone's looking for. so far they have not and we grabbed i hit him in the face some fighters wanted to take him away
1:05 pm
and that's when i shot on twice in the head and in the chanced. in this movie and says he didn't like the idea of taking the colonel online also faulted what he calls gadaffi that bloodied shirt and a gold ring he claims were taken from the dead man's comments have not yet been confirmed dr benjamin barber a senior fellow at the u.s. think tank doesn't expect anyone to be held accountable for economies down. get off he was clearly executed in fact he was executed twice once by the nato air strike that intercepted his caravan and tried to kill him and then once he was caught by the ground forces again executed a sufficiently more official it's a question of who they expect to hold accountable one individual soldier who in the frenzy of battle did it the militia from misrata which that individual was a part of the nato forces that you know bombed the caravan and killed most of the people apparently forty or fifty who killed them just didn't get gadhafi my own
1:06 pm
guess is that will be a lot of talk here and in the end nothing will happen because everybody inside libya and also outside libya will be basically glad that he's the head and not a life. still ahead for you in the program this double trouble british until faces or could emerge as that poisoned former k.g.b. agent alexander litvinenko was also working for m i six. up for debate should be u.k. leaves the euro skeptics in britain call for a nationwide referendum on the future of its membership. new york has seen yet another series of anti corporate protests which were followed by another round of arrests activists accuse the police of being heavy handed towards those who were peacefully expressing their opinion or tease lucy coven off as this report. as the numbers of the protests continue to increase so does it seems that
1:07 pm
heavy handed tactics by the new york city police departments we witnessed several arrests about thirty two activists were arrested for demonstrating peacefully outside a police precinct to bring attention to the so-called stop and frisk policy that is widely used here in new york where many innocent civilians can be stopped on the street with very little actual suspicious pas search center bench they take into jail if something is found on their physical body. we saw a high level high profile activists taken away in handcuffs purnell west coral dix among others several members of the ministry the several religious leaders were also taken away again just for performing what they say are simply acts of civil disobedience nonviolent disobedience standing peacefully silently in front of the police precincts that we saw the police actually target a reporter
1:08 pm
a journalist who had been trying to film the events just like we were the police officers went after him physically at which point several activists and philip tipped them with their bodies to try to protect him and keep him from getting arrested those two activists were then handcuffed rather violently and taken in the back of the police truck and taken away now what this signifies is that the numbers of these protests continue to grow perhaps putting some sort of fear into the system here where officials don't feel like they can control the movement that seems to have spread wide across the world not just here in the united states. lucy coven of the israelis inspired by american activists have spent weeks protesting and calling for social justice on the streets of tel aviv but now that the run is offended people are left wondering when the reforms promised to them by the government will emerge what is paula smear reports. anger outrage and protest on the streets of new york
1:09 pm
a throwback to the same scenes different streets around ten thousand kilometers away the politicians in the united states exaggerated in the same way as the this is where they went too far in taking for granted the citizens occupy wall street it wasn't that long ago israelis were calling to occupy what's child boulevard in a bid to join the protests from the beginning she was inspired by what happened in cairo and called her tamed takio corner car but here people were standing who were praying every evening and people are coming and talking to hours as you know watches events unfold in far away new york she misses the six weeks she lived here and wishes she could be part of the wall street rallies by the first hour that was where i am i remain with a great player so sad to face and to me how the protests in new york have strong parallels with those in israel in how they came about and why the similarity
1:10 pm
between the protesters just uncanny. the way they started on facebook the way they chose a location very close to where. the center of power is where the center of greed is for in this case the wall street but many are wondering what exactly that struggle in israel achieved recommendations made by government committee still need to be implemented and that could take a long enough look like any other street in tel aviv but the focal point of the pain of the revolution i think its role of the taint be replaced with baikal and the social demands are still waiting to be. like many american is rabies many is watching the u.s. rallies closely and says they are an inspiration to many in israel he's proud people are taking a stand against corruption and greed to protest the struggle and the anger is in the people still and the struggle is still going to go on a view that more and more people around the globe seem to share policy r.t.
1:11 pm
tel aviv's. r.t. coming to live from the russian capital with the twenty four hours a day still to come for you this of the passion behind the protest. for the whole of both parties i think we want to party parties new york resident office finds out what uniting message is driving the occupy wall street movement. still to come but first british euro skeptics are pushing for the right to vote on a referendum on whether the country should leave the e.u. the people's pledge campaign believes the e.u. undermines britain's sovereignty and is costing the country too much that demand for a nationwide referendum will be discussed in parliament on monday the group held a conference on the issue in london on saturday the conservative m.p. and supporter of the people's pledge douglas cause while says there's no economic benefit to keeping the u.k. in the e.u. . it's costing us a great deal of money where spending billions of pounds bailing out a currency we didn't even choose to join but it's not just about economics it's
1:12 pm
about democracy for too long in this country we've left it to the political elite to decide these questions if you believe in democracy surely you should trust the people the people need to have a say when we joined the european union in the early one nine hundred seventy s. we thought we were joining a prosperous trading bloc europe at that time constituted about thirty six percent of global g.d.p. it turns out by twenty twenty year poor account for about fifteen percent of global g.d.p. so you know far from joining a prosperous trading bloc which shackled ourselves to an economic corpse you know the economic rationale for being in the european union i think has largely gone we want to be global players we want to have free trade relationships with the world not just with belgium and a few indebted states across the channel as an inquest into the death of former russian agent alexander litvinenko was granted by the u.k. his widow admits he was working for britain's m i six the long stretching investigation was launched five years ago when litvinenko died of radiation
1:13 pm
poisoning in london parties either bennett reports and her recent discoveries could pose some uncomfortable questions for british intelligence. according to britain this is a man on the run and barry lugovoy hasn't left russia since two thousand and six because of an international arrest warrant he's accused of murdering alexander litvinenko in london almost five years ago both former k.g.b. agents but lugovoy says he's got nothing to hide so as a quote regrettably did nobody really expected me at the pre inquest hearing even though british officials claim that i'm hiding from justice my lawyers annoy found out about it by sheer chance had we not found out about it i think the british press would have accused us once again of hiding from justice. league of always lawyers last week echoed calls from a live in yonkers widow for a full inquest which is now finally been ordered but that's prompted yet another
1:14 pm
twist in a case already steeped in intrigue it all back when we know when there were my lawyers and i put ourselves food as an interested party so live in yonkers we don't i was forced to admit her husband was a paid agent of m i five and m i six o'clock that he worked for britain's intelligence and not just as a consultant she had no other choice she realized if i get involved in the inquest this will be reviewed anyway because i know a few facts that will force a british court to ask m i five an m i six a few questions. until now marina late been yankers always denied any such link she says he was out of loyalty to her husband she refused to speak to us they said mission leaves m i five facing awkward questions in an inquest they were the only party trying to limit and they did take it for granted that they could just brush embarrassment country carpet and as i said if it had been consulting for them or working with them and he died in highly. the tourist circumstances on their
1:15 pm
patch then you have if course they will be are questioned about not offering protection to people and also not offering protection to the london public you know . as the trail ten across the city living in kid died a slow and painful death caused by the lethal radioactive substance polonium two ten the unsolved case has been the thorn in the side of british russian relations with moscow refusing to extradite abundance chief suspect but some claim britain's pursuit has blurred the line between fact and fiction there's a whole host of unofficial allegations. how we go from a death which however horrible to an accusation that mr lugovoy was responsible is is ludicrous i mean it's all looks very fishy joy an unbiased observer but the diet that we are being fed in britain through the media. short circuits
1:16 pm
a lot of that this is where it all began the millennium hotel in central london and it's what happened in here remains the biggest question mark live in yankee met lugovoy for breakfast here the day he fell ill and that's when he's alleged to have been poisoned forensics did find the contaminated teapot but the link from back to lou void is still unproven it's hoped the coroner's inquest will determine once and for all what exactly went on behind these walls something c.c.-t.v. missed the police say they have new evidence they won't disclose it until they conclude their own investigation as for lugovoy he says he'll answer any questions they've got not in person of course but via video link i have been it r t london. the russian foreign ministry has compiled a number of american officials blacklisted from visiting the country this comes in response to a similar line up of russians banned by washington from entering the u.s. the row was sparked by the death of businessman surrogate magnitsky in the russian jail two years ago where he was being held on tax evasion charges u.s.
1:17 pm
play moscow for the deaf and is now refusing to grant visas to several russian officials moscow says the americans it has now blacklisted in response suspected of crimes against russian citizens in the u.s. including kidnapping and torture. that makes them that list which has not been publicly released and this washington dropped its sanctions against russian officials. so i'm not update you on some other news in brief in our world update this hour in the olden cause of one hundred ethnic serbs of stopping nato peacekeepers from removing barricades which have been blocking off the area for months they sat in front of sixteen roadblocks to prevent the troops pushing through the barricade on this which were built back in july when the government attempted to take control of the disputed crossing area northern kosovo is home to about forty thousand serbs who refused to recognize the authority of the mainly ethnic albanian cost of a government. the heir to the saudi arabian throne prince sultan bin abdulaziz also has died he was in his eighty's and in two thousand and four was
1:18 pm
diagnosed with colon cancer the crown prince was traveling abroad for medical tests at the time of his death brings into focus the health of saudi arabia's aging royalty especially king abdullah who is now eighty seven officials say funeral services will be held in the capital riyadh on tuesday. circus troops reportedly killed forty nine kurdish rebels near the iraqi border as hundreds of soldiers also pursued fighters in northern iraq a clash in turkey to curry province came after the government launched a massive anti rebel operation in the area involving ten thousand troops but turkey's conflict with the kurdistan workers party or p.k. k. has killed tens of thousands of people since it began in one thousand nine hundred eighty four. when. so the world update this hour the u.n. security council has unanimously adopted a resolution calling for yemeni president ali abdullah saleh to immediately step down it also strongly condemns excessive use of force against anti-government protesters the first mandate since the unrest began in general says the leader must
1:19 pm
transfer power to his deputy and escalate the violence but it was criticized by human rights activists saying it open the way to granting immunity for the president to test his claims sally is clinging to power and pushing his country into civil war. president barack obama announced the end to american military deployment in iraq ordering all troops to leave by the end of the year about thirty nine thousand american troops will leave the country after more than eight years an era that has cost us taxpayers over eight hundred billion dollars almost four hundred thousand u.s. soldiers have died during their service in iraq war zone blogger and iraqi american political activist thinks the u.s. withdrawal is a step forward for both countries but it doesn't mean america's influence in the region will end. this is a very important milestone i think that our keys in general have been waiting for this is the last eighty years we want to hear this u.s. military occupation is or what it's all for and it is
1:20 pm
a major step in but i bet action unfortunately it does not necessarily mean the end of the u.s. involvement and intervention in iraq because the u.s. is planning to keep sixteen thousand person and under the state department over all the iraqi political leaders are not against keeping some u.s. trainers to train the new iraqi army on using the newly purchased u.s. weapons but they are against granting them immunity because there have been a long list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with no accountability for the u.s. intervention and occupation of iraq has been a disaster there is no victory became there is nothing to look back at it has been a disaster that should not have happened it's a disaster of death and destruction and the us has been a part of iraq's problem in the last decade or two decades since the intervention
1:21 pm
started i'm very happy that the u.s. is ending its intervention because i think this will help iraqis move forward and put the country and truck. with the occupy wall street movement surpassing its one month anniversary many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest nouri oftenest our own resident in new york went to the center of the action to ask people there what brought them. a month into the occupy wall street movement is there a unified mass that this week let's talk about that there isn't a centralized message a lot of people say that's the problem and i think that's actually a strength that we currently have. as a movement where we're just over a month old. october seventeenth was our one month anniversary and and i think it's it's early to to be issuing any statements or anything along those lines any any sort of movement major movement or revolution or anything like that throughout
1:22 pm
history has issued a statement within the first month it feels a little absurd to me to expect there to be one core message when this is a movement that's wanting to be inclusive that wants everyone to have a voice and everyone has their own life they have their own struggles isn't i mean today's world is the sound bite no one has the tension and a.d.d. world and they need a sound bite or they're off of the current dominant paradigm and we're looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist i tried to come every day for a couple of hours so a lot of people are saying that the message is that unified and that's an issue that the movement is having its problem communicating but i don't see it as an issue. because do you feel like it's all unified i think it is ultimately this is a big battle of ideas there's fifteen different worldviews per square foot and. people
1:23 pm
are talking and people are listening it's like the best university in the world but there's no unified message a lot of people don't seem to really understand why they're here they can articulate it so you know if this sort of makes them think about why they're here well there in the alternative do you think that that's a problem with the movement is that there isn't a unified message not necessarily i think there's a profiling theme to it everybody's dissent. franchise with something you're saying education and health care some guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country to their stuff a part of it i mean there's not one thing i said it's not just one thing and there's a bunch of different reasons that i'm part of that too i mean i definitely agree with that the fact that they're shipping jobs in the country we don't need any more so so how would you sum it up in one clears that tends what the math that says here . political and economic reform the whole of both parties i think we want to party so it seems like everyone here feels like there is a unified message and that is there isn't a unified message which they feel like is the very strike of the movement's.
